CABLE-HOLDER FOR MANURE-CARRIERS.

Application filed May 6, 1916. Serial No. 95,991.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, PERRY O. RESTEIGEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brodhead, in the county of Green and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cable-Holders for Manure-Carriers, of which the following is a specification. 1

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in cable holders and more particularly in cable holders for manure car.- riers, the primary object of my invention being the provision of a cable holder which maybe attached to a barn wall above the doorway and which will support a cable forming a track for the manure carrier.

A further object of my invention is to. so construct the holder that it may be raised or lowered to hold the cable above the dooror at some point in the doorway, as desired.

In this connection, astill further object of my invention consists in the provision of means for automatically locking the holder in raised position, and in means for preventing turning of the holder when in lowered position.

With these and other objects in view, my invention'will be more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and

then specifically pointed out. in the claims which are attached to and form a part of this application. T

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention; Fig. 2 is a side elevation of my invention in use, one wallof a barn being shown in section.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawing by the same reference characters.

Inorder to insure a clear and accurate understanding of my invention I have illustrated it in connection with one wall of a barn or other structure having a doorway 11 which may be closed by a door 12.

My invention includes a guiding and supporting sleeve 13 adapted to be mounted in vertical position above the doorway 11 and a holder or hanger 14 mounted in the sleeve. The sleeve, at its ends, is formed with laterally directed ears 15 which may be engaged against the wall 10 and through which may be passed screws 16 or other suitable fastening devices to secure the sleeve in place. The sleeve is further secured in place by a clamping collar 17 mounted about the inter- Specification of Iietters Patent.

termedi'ate portion of the collar and through the wall of the building, and secured by a nut 21 to hold the collar against longitudinal movement along the sleeve. Diagonally extending braces 22 are secured at their outer ends to the ears 18. by the same bolt 19 employed in clamping the ears together and at their free ends are attached to the wall 10 by any suitable fastening-devices. r A looking lever 23 is pivoted adjacent one end between the ears 18 and is formed with a hooked terminal 24 adapted to pass through an opening 25 formed in the sleeve 13 and to engage in a notch;26 formed in the hanger 14, the hook being urged to this position by a'leaf spring 27, one end of which is clamped between the. ears and sleeve and the other end of which isbifurcated to receive the free end of the lever 23. The hanger 14 is in the form of a rod proportioned to slidably engage in the sleeve and provided at its lower end with an ofiset arm 28 having an upwardly directed terminal 29. This terminal 29 has its upper face grooved to form a seat for the cable 30 which the device is to support, this cable being secured to its seat by a U-shaped band 31 fastened about the cable and terminal 29, as shown at 82. The wall 10 above the door opening is cut-away, as shown at 33, to form a space for the cable 30 when the holder is in elevated position, this being clearly shown in Fig. 1. The upper end of the rod or hanger 14 is provided with a diametrically extending pin 34, the ends of which engage in seats 35 formed by notching the upper.

end ofthe sleeve 13 when-the holder is in lowered position in order to prevent any turning movement of the holder.

If desired, the wall may be formed with a second opening 33 at that side of the holder opposite the opening 33 in order that the holder may be swung to the other side, thus permitting the positioning of the cable at either side of the doorway. If such is the case, the hanger 14 is generally provided with a second notch 26" corresponding to the notch 26 and engageable by the hook 24 when the holder is raised. I 1 V From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawing, the operation 20 cluding a supportga cable holding member V of improved cable holder will be readily understood. Under normal circumstances, that is when themanure carrier is not being used, the cable will be held in the position shown in Fig. 1. At any time the cable is desired for use, the lever v23 will be swung against its spring'to release the hanger 14: and lower the cable to the proper level. When so l0wered,'the pin 84 engaging the seats=35 will not-only prevent further downward movement of the holder, but will also prevent any swinging movement thereof. After use,: theholder may be pushedupwardly until the notch 26 registers with the opening of the sleeve when the hook 24 will immediately and automatically lock the holder in place.

Having thus described the invention, what isclaimed as new is:
